Abstract
A diode modulator type electrical mixer network has at least two hybrids of transmission line construction, interconnected by means of two sets of four or more diodes arranged in bridge circuit configurations. The interconnecting configuration provides a novel means of local oscillator injection that allows the mixer to operate in a mode that substantially reduces the mixer's susceptability to effects caused by reflective external source and load termination impedances differing from an ideal 50 ohm nonreflective condition.
